Play modes

Race

With the Race mode, you can take part in stage races or classic races (single day). Choose 1 team from the 27 teams available and try to fulfil your objectives so you can earn XP to unlock new races.

For each stage raced, you earn XP (5 XP on Amateur difficulty, 10 XP on Professional and 15 XP on Champion or Legend). If you win a stage, you earn double the XP. If you fulfil your team's objective, the XP is doubled at the end of the challenge, which helps you to unlock races quicker.

For each race, the game registers your various victories in each classification to draw up your list of Accomplishments for each team.

You can also create your own event with the My Tour mode, where you select the stages to be raced as well as the competing teams. You gain the same XP to unlock new races and new stages. You can also choose the level of opponents, the colour of distinctive jerseys, as well as the number of riders per team.

Race of the Moment

Caution! In Race of the Moment mode, a save is only possible at the end of a stage. If you are not satisfied with your performance, you must start again at the beginning of the stage.

Race of the Moment is a game mode that allows you to take part in short-lived races, that are only playable for a few days. These races are challenges that allow you to score points for monthly and yearly online leaderboards. The aim is to achieve the best time, but the objective could also be to score the most points in the mountains classification or to rack up a maximum of kilometres at the front of the race. The team is pre-selected in order that all players have the same starting conditions. It is for you to adopt the most effective strategy!

	When a Race of the Moment is contested on time, it is the time of your best-placed rider in the general classification that is taken into account.
	When a Race of the Moment is contested on points, it is the points of your best-placed rider in the points classification that are taken into account.
	When a Race of the Moment is contested in the mountains, it is the points of your best-placed rider in the mountains classification that are taken into account.
	When a Race of the Moment is contested on time, it is the time of your best-placed rider in the young rider classification that is taken into account.
	When a Race of the Moment is contested on combativity, it is the kilometres of your best-placed rider in the combativity classification that are taken into account.
	When a Race of the Moment is contested by team, it is the time of your team in the team classification that is taken into account.
	When a Race of the Moment is contested on victories, it is the total number of stage victories achieved by your team during the race that is taken into account.

Each Race of the Moment (apart from training races) allows you to score points that go to improving your online ranking. Each finished stage allows you to score 100 points. A race that comprises 4 stages, therefore, earns you 400 points. On some stages there are more points up for grabs, and so you can earn more than 100 points. At the end of the current Race of the Moment, depending on your finishing position, a multiplier is applied to your points total.

Each monthly leaderboard integrates the points earned during the races of that month. The yearly leaderboard integrates the points earned from all races.

You can earn badges in Race of the Moment mode. The participation badge denotes the number of Races of the Moment that you have completed. The performance badge denotes your best placing in a Race of the Moment classification.

Pro Team

The Pro Team puts you in charge of a team that will have to prove itself to attain peak Pro Cycling ranking.

To reach the number one spot, you will need to score the maximum amount of PC points per season. You can earn these points by finishing stages in well-placed positions, through your overall classification, and also by winning other classifications (green jersey, polka-dot jersey, combativity, best young rider).

The more you participate in prestigious races, the more points you can earn. Depending on your classification at the end of the season, you receive bonus points which will enable you to recruit better riders. But watch out: the riders have exacting standards and will only join your team if it has a high enough PC classification.

Your team starts at the very bottom of the ladder. You will have to prove yourself to get an invitation from the race organisers. To take part in the most prestigious races like the Tour de France and Paris-Roubaix and score a high amount of PC points, you must first demonstrate your skills in lesser races such as Les 3 Jours de Provence or the Open Tour.

In Pro Team mode you will manage a squad of a maximum of 15 riders. You must keep them in peak condition in order to perform well in races they are suited to. To this end, you can give each rider 2 peaks per season. While in peak condition, their chances of performing in bad condition are greatly lessened.

You must also manage the riders’ weak moments as they will have a much higher chance of performing badly when not in peak condition. This would all but eliminate any hope of coming out on top in the overall classification. You will have to rotate the members of your squad in order to maintain a competitive team at all times.

If your team's position in the Pro Cycling classification is good at the end of the season, you can select and build your team to take part in the World Championships. Select your cyclists based on race type to try and win the rainbow jersey.

Pro Leader

Pro Leader mode lets you create your own rider and guide them through various missions. Each mission you complete will allow you to improve one or more of your rider’s ratings, making them stronger. Completing all 136 missions will turn your rider into a downright cycling legend.

You can choose between 4 career paths: climber, sprinter, puncher and versatile. Depending on your choice, your rider will begin their career with different ratings which will help or hinder them in completing certain missions. For example, a climber will have more difficulty winning missions that improve their Sprint rating, and more ease on missions that improve their Mountain rating.

At the end of the season, if the championship races are suited to your cyclist and if your results during the season have been good enough to impress your national federation, you may be selected to represent your national team in the World Championships. This is a unique opportunity to wear the rainbow jersey for the whole season. But be aware, a sprinter won't be selected to take part in a mountain World Championship, and conversely a climber won't be called upon if the circuit is flat.
